  3. Back to Painting: Prickly Pears Process

    2017-09-28 02:58:01 UTC

    I ended a period of painting in the fall and winter of 2016/2017 with a number of unfinished panels. In this series, I began with these moribund half-images as the ground of new work. The one beneath Pears I began its new life as an obliterated ground–an series of attempts…

  4. New panels in process: Derrida, Foucault and Marie Vernet

    2016-11-09 17:10:00 UTC

    This series of paintings recapitulates arguments about the male gaze–my gaze as an Anglo male, heterosexual painter, and the gaze of many others–made by postmodern philosophers like Derrida and Foucault, and feminist postmodernists like Helene Cixous, 40 and 50 years ago.  As an example, the painting of Marie Vernet uses…

  5. Shifting Ground

    2016-10-27 20:08:00 UTC

    The Patriarch. Completed October 2016 in acrylic on panel, 16”x16”. I bought 20 16x16x2 panels from Albuquerque craftsman Bruce Loyd earlier this year. At the time, I hoped the move would help me expand the dimensions of my painting practice, firstly by giving me a bigger pool of panels to…

  6. In process: panels with projections

    2016-08-17 23:06:00 UTC

    Experimenting with my new PicoPro digital projector, I found thrills in the iridescence of the projected light on the tiny glass beads that make up the Golden medium I used in some of the panels. The images are chaotic, a kind of dreamland hinted at by the presence of floating…

  7. In process: new grounds, 3 layers later

    2016-08-17 22:22:00 UTC

    Using thin glazes and thick paint-mud, the ground-building process has continued. Knowing that I’m simply building a ground for later drawings and projections, I felt free to make pictures as they came to me. Some of them have strengths of their own, and may be close to done. And some…

  8. Request for Collaborators: Portraits

    2016-04-19 21:27:00 UTC

    Standing on a smoking battlefield at dusk, a man in a dark suit holds clean calfskin gloves and an iPhone 6s. He looks troubled, and a little hunched against the wind. He looks to be 50, Anglo, maybe Swedish. A man in a rumpled clown suit sits in a heavy…
